Visiting Inmates:

 

 

SCORE (South Correctional Entity) conducts visitation by video camera. All scheduled visitation is prearranged by visitors in advance to the scheduled day and time.  All visitors must plan on checking in with the receptionist no later than 10 minutes prior to your scheduled visitation time.  The visitor will be assigned a visitation booth. Once seated, the visitor should wait to pick up the phone handset  and continue holding until connected to the inmate at which time the visitor will appear on the monitor in front of you. You will conduct your conversation by phone. Once connected with your inmate, the clock will begin a countdown and your visit will end at the scheduled visitation end time.  If you arrive later than the scheduled start time, your visit will be cancelled for that day.

Inmate Phone Contact:

Incoming calls to inmates are not allowed. An inmate may place an outbound call using the inmate telephone service provided through PayTel. Pre-paid accounts can be set up through PayTel to pay for calls placed by an inmate. These pre-paid accounts eliminate the blocked call problems that can occur when a collect call is placed from inside SCORE jail to your phone.
